Should students be allowed to stay of school in hot weather like this?

[Danny]

As the title says, should students be allowed to stay of school in hot weather like this? I mean, for me, it is far too hot to concentrate in school, most of the class (i'm guessing) would be half asleep in weather like this.

[Wayne]

Yeah we should be able to have the day off if it is hotter than a certain high degree. Today at school, it was really hard to concentrate because everyone was really boiling, also to make it worse, we have to wear black jumpers. :eusa_wall I felt sick today because it was too hot.

[asher_]

LOL. Oh yes, let kids have the day off school so they can go home and play Habbo. Education is important so don't waste it :]

[benjirofl]

Lmaop.

I agrreee.

Its kk this week tho, jus colourin n stuff ;l! ( last week.

[Herman]

I'm used to hot days. So, no. xD

[benjirofl]

Yehh. Im hot but we allowed to tkae our blazers off. ;l ! And we have fans in most rooms n a./c in others p;

[Seacat]

I presume you live in England?

In America and third world countries such as Africa the temperates are hotter than in the UK at the moment, and it's like that all year round. England get a little bit of sun and everyone expects the Country to stop :P

In the winter we (not me personally :P) moan it's too cold and we shouldn't have to get out of bed to go to school/work, then in Summer when it's hot we moan we shouldn't have to go to school/work cos it's too hot.

You should just enjoy the weather as it is, I'd rather be in college and chilling with mates outside on free periods/lunchbreaks than sat at home indoors.

Exactly, it's hot all year round here in Singapore, where I am. Yet, I like the hot weather tbh :D

When i went to new Yorkaa. in January it was cold. And snowy [; <3

[Danny]

Yeah, but people who live in countries that have hot weather are more used to that kind of weather, in England we're more used to it raining in the summer, and i've heard that tommorow it's gona be like over 90 farenheight(sp) That for us is far to hot, we just aren't used to this heat.

And i didn't mean for us to stay at home and go on habbo, i'm just saying we should be allowed to stay at home or should be allowed to wear clothes that are cooler than our uniforms, alot of our uniforms in England are black with a white shirt, and black attracts the sun.

I feel sorry for the guy who had to wear a black jumper!!

[asher_]

So what if everyday of the summer is hot? Do you expect to just stay of school for the entierity of the summer or until it cools down?

[AdamCookie!]

I personally think that we should still have to go to school, but be aloud to wear what clothes we want to make us cooler and be aloud mini-fans!

I mean, if it gets too hot where you feel sick/cannot concentrate etc then you would get sent home anyway.

The whole country cannot stop because we are getting hotter weather, thats like saying if you go on holiday to a hotter country you will stay in an airconditioned hotel room ALL HOLIDAY!

[Virgin Mary]

Come winter, you'll be expecting days off because it's too cold. English people are just fussy.

Not fussy.. Most brits are just not used to the hot weather!

[Virgin Mary]

Or cold weather!

[Danny]

Well if your working and the temperature is above 34 degrees then they are allowed to have days off work... Same should be for schools. I'm not saying to stay off school if the weather is just a litte bit hot, but such temperatures as above 34 degrees, then i think people should be allowed to stay off, who exactly is going to be able to concentrate.

And about the winter thing, i don't think people should be allowed to stay home then, cos your allowed to wear coats and you have heating.
I would rather be cold right now than be as hot as i am now!

Btw, i'm not actually at school any more anyways, i'm 18.

[brandon]

I heard it's meant to be 35 on Wednesday, my worst day. Great :rolleyes:

[Danny]

Yeah it is meant to be around that.. suggestions on keeping cool please :p.

[brandon]

Yeah it is meant to be around that.. suggestions on keeping cool please :p.
- Bring lots of icey water in
- Wear a sunhat
- Use suncream to prevent sunstroke and sunburn
- Use shades when possible.

[AdamCookie!]

Stay indoors (It will be cooler)..
Drink lots of cold water
Although ice lollies are cold, there not the best thing on a really hot day!
If you really have to go out, take breaks and drink water.
Try to avoid busy places.

Soz but their use to it thanks :]

[Lubricant]

I love the sun and the heat but the problem with British summer is that it's too humid, sticky and you just get uncomftable.

It's hard to stay in when the teachers want everyone out of the building at break and lunch :rolleyes:

[Zenzi]

Yerp. I wasted about half an hour of coursework time today because i couldnt be arsed. It was so HOT!!

So in the end my physics teacher said to have a free lesson. ;D

[Uwe]

I got to take my tie off =']

[Lubricant]

Just open the windows and have a drink beside you and maybe have a fan aswell.

[Zenzi]

I undid the top two buttons of my shirt and the hist teacher told me it was "Unappropriate" :S

[AdamCookie!]

They said that to a lass at my school, and she said yeah well the lads aint complaining.. And got excluded for it "/

[Virgin Mary]

This isn't the first summer ever, it's nothing new to you.

[Danny]

But it's hotter than any other summer, we've had alot of heatwaves aswell! It's been far hotter than I can remember.

[brandon]

rofl I'm glad it wasn't the English teacher that said that. :D

[asher_]

Just carry a bottle of water around with you to keep you hydrated.

[Lubricant]

Yeah. Normally you're not allowed a drink in lesson (Well we wasn't) but they should give an exception because of the heat.

[brandon]

We're allowed drinks apart from in Science and I.T for obvious reasons :rolleyes:

[Mentor]

tbh that would just be stupid "/

[@K]

That's why here in Spain we finish school in June :D

[jstar953]

i think we should get the day off!
i mean, i'm originally from Belgium so i'm used to "cold" weather but i cant stand it when it gets too hot. ive nearly fainted once when it got so hot.

[luke-p]

LOL. Oh yes, let kids have the day off school so they can go home and play Habbo. Education is important so don't waste it :]

Very true, But some people find it rearly hard to work in hot conditions.
Some teachers are insane and shut the windows if the class start messing around :@ Should be sacked for it.

[Drooped]

i couldn't care... this is my second week of my sumer holidays. rock on Scotland <3

[GommeInc]

It depends. Some people should stay off from school because they might suffer from heat stroke or whatever it is called, when you get to hot and start flaking out or getting really dizzy for the rest of the day. But if you don't, tough, you shall suffer in the heat :D Just take a bottle of water around with you for the entire day, and if you can't drink in lessons, tell the teacher tough poo, you don't want to be roasted. Or just drink alot at the beginning of the lesson...

Shouldn't mess around then, should you :rolleyes:

[i luv rosie]

i have air conditioning in my school.

[Lubricant]

In my local paper today it said pupils were allowed to go home because of the "extreme" weather. Apparently hottest July on record.

[Virgin Mary]

It's just raining now hahaha

[BeachBoy]

Yes, we should stay in school. as long as teachers open windows, have fans ect ect. Besides its still hot at home.

[Danny]

It's not just people who get heat stroke though, some kids might have something wrong with their heart, it was advised that people with heart problems aswell as the elderly should stay indoors, because the heat could kill people. Was said in a newspaper.

[Wayne]

We should be able to take extra clothes in our bags with us, just incase it becomes hot, then be able to change into them if it gets boiling. (Shorts, vests, t-shirts, etc)

[foxyfox00]

In Australia if its over 40 degrees we have to go home usually its 38 in summer everyday.I sleep infront of the air conditioner.

I suggest drinking water or juice boxes/prima's that have been frozen. Swimming is also good.

[Splinky]

I think we should go in in the morning and then go home in the afternoon. Its horrid wearing shirts coz sweat shows ugh, and only 2 rooms are air conned.

[-Soph-]

Yes, I find it hard to concentrate in hot weather
